CONTRACTOR RIGS FOR ENCLOSED BODIES
Contractor Rigs™ for enclosed bodies are made entirely of aluminum and stainless steel and utilize our Surface-mount I.T.S.® Brackets. This is the same I.T.S. configuration used for pick-up trucks and vans that allows for easy installation of our Work Winch® tie-down system. Contractor Rigs are available in lengths of 8 1/2', 10', 11 1/2', 13'. and 14 1/2'. ft. They usually have 5 crossmembers, although more or fewer can be used. Ladder Life™ inserts are installed on all crossmembers.

The Contractor Rig is usually mounted on our Utility Traks which are installed with concealed fasteners. Utility Traks are available in lengths of 8 ft., 9 ft, and 11 ft. Utility Traks are recommended but, depending on the roof structure, they may or may not be needed. In all cases the body itself must be strong enough to support the rack and any anticipated cargo. Crossmember sizes vary depending on the width of the rack you specify. If you are using Traks, just measure where you want the outside-to-outside edges of the Trak to be on the body. If you are not using Traks, measure the outside-to-outside distance where you want the I.T.S. brackets to be. We will calculate the correct crossmember size using the dimensions you provide.

Stiffening ribs are recommended for racks over 70" wide. They attach to the underside of each crossmember to minimize deflection, roughly doubling the capacity of the crossmembers. For more details about Contractor Rigs for enclosed bodies go to our "Features" page.
